Thought I had it in the bag, and did a final word-count.
I'm at 49,999: whatever shall I do? If I write "The End", do I get a greeb bar?

Of course it counts! And you're lucky: you actually get to put "The End" at the conclusion of your story. That's only happened to me once before...it might happen this time, but I've still got a few thousand words left...
I guess you could look up different ways to say The End...in fine, c'est tout, se abaca...there's always that line from the Return of the King: The End of All Things.

Can't really use "the end", anyhoo, story is still not finished.
So I added the glossary instead. Glossary put me over the top!

That's so weird - I had the same problem, only it was 49,995. I laughed - I mean, what else can you do? :o)
